'I didn't get an opportunity last season, but the more games I've played people have seen what I can actually do.

'I don't resent past managers. It is their decision, but I probably wasn't given a fair crack of the whip and I suppose I do hold a slight grudge.

'I had to keep going but I did let it affect me. I'm not going to lie and say it didn't. It affected how I approached my football.

'The lads are joking that I might get the 'most improved player' award. I take slight offence at that because I don't think I've improved. I've just been given a chance and it's the manager who is to thank for that.'

Has he done enough to win the Vital Player of the Season though? Find out later tonight!
